Do you need a will?
Are you aware that 55% of Americans do not have a will? It is one subject no one really wants to talk about since it does involve death and money.
However, ignoring this topic could one day leave these choices in the hands of the state to decide. Do you really want that?
First of all you have to accept the fact that there may never be a good time to talk about death, so don’t put if off.
Be bold and bring up the subject and be sure to cover areas of who will inherit your assets, who will be the guardian of your children, who will be the executor of your estate? Also it is vital that the executor knows what your wishes are when it comes to handling your estate.
The more that is known about your decisions and viewpoints in this matter, the more likely that your requests will be met. Involve the guardian of your choice. Make sure that the guardian and children are favorable with your decision.
So find the time to plan what happens to those things you do cherish in life.
Are you aware that each state has a department that does take care of unclaimed money and unclaimed property?
